The Alberta Education website is changing as part of a project to upgrade all Government of Alberta web content and centralize content on Alberta.ca.

Our homepage was updated with a new look and feel on December 20, 2018. The remaining webpages and content will transition to Alberta.ca over the next few months. Information will be posted to help guide you to updated content during and after this transition.
